Chapter 115 - What To Do if You’re the Villain and the Heroine Likes You

As soon as the name "He Yunxiao" was mentioned, Meng Qingrou's previously cheerful expression crumbled. "Xinger, don't say anything. I don't want to hear about him." Of course, Xinger couldn't just stay silent. With one husband waiting stiffly at the door and the other not wanting to hear anyone speak inside, if there was no one playing the role of mediator, they might have lived like this forever. Xinger didn't want Princess Nanzhu's life to be a mere existence like this. Her youth should not slowly ebb away in the desolation of Linxuan Palace. A fine girl like her deserved better treatment and a better life. Relying on her good relationship with Meng Qingrou, Xinger continued, "Your Highness, He Yunxiao has bought some pastries for you. Would you like to try them?" Meng Qingrou replied expressionlessly, "No." Then, Xinger tried, "Your Highness, shall I tell you what happened just now?" Meng Qingrou remained expressionless and said, "I don't want to hear." Ignoring whether she wanted to hear it or not, Xinger continued to speak. Starting from carrying the medicinal soup out of Linxuan Palace, she went on to being frightened by He Yunxiao, breaking the jewelry he had given her, He Yunxiao's happiness at the broken jewelry, pouring out the medicinal soup, and He Yunxiao's unwillingness to deceive her... She spoke slowly, without exaggeration, or flowery language. When Xinger began, Meng Qingrou no longer mentioned whether she wanted to hear it or not. She sat upright with her hands on her lap, listening attentively like a well-behaved child. Xinger finally got to the end. "Before I left, I asked Master He, 'Master He, don't you have something to say to Your Highness?'" Pausing, Xinger looked at her Highness, Princess Nanzhu's eyes. In her beautiful, dazzling eyes, the world reflected with even more radiance and beauty than the world itself. Seeing Xinger's silence, Meng Qingrou subconsciously reached out to hold Xinger's hand and asked involuntarily, "Xinger, then what did he say?" Seeing her Highness's concerned look and recalling her repeated "No" and "I don't want to hear it" from earlier, Xinger found it amusing. "Miss Meng, didn't you say you didn't want to listen? Then why are you holding my hand and asking questions like this? If you have the ability, continue to act indifferent, won't you? You're just pretending!" Xinger deliberately said, "Master He said, 'In the future, I will sever all ties with Princess Nanzhu and never have any contact with her!'" Upon hearing this, Meng Qingrou's face instantly lost its color, turning pale, and her chest heaved up and down as if she couldn't catch her breath. Even Xinger, who knew her Highness well, hadn't expected such a strong reaction. Xinger quickly reached out to comfort Meng Qingrou, "Your Highness! Qingrou! I made it up! He didn't say that. He said 'I like you' 'I will only marry you' 'As long as Qingrou'..." After being comforted by Xinger, Meng Qingrou's complexion gradually returned to normal, even more rosy than before. She punched Xinger's body with her small fists and said, "Bad Xinger! He Yunxiao lied to me, and so did you!" Xinger let go of her Highness and saw her returning to normal. She felt relieved after the initial shock. Xinger had expected Meng Qingrou to not like He Yunxiao anymore after being deceived, but she hadn't expected that not only He Yunxiao but her Highness too, was obsessed with him. Meng Qingrou pretended to be serious and said, "Xinger, quickly tell me what he said in the end?" This time, Xinger didn't dare to joke and repeated He Yunxiao's words honestly. "Master He said, 'I have a lot to say to her, but the thing I want to express the most is— I miss you, and I want to see you.'" Upon hearing this, Meng Qingrou turned her small face away. Regardless of whether He Yunxiao was around or if he could hear her, she reproached across the space, "Nonsense! All lies! I don't believe it!" Seeing Meng Qingrou turn her pretty face away and the pink flush on her cheeks, Xinger couldn't help but murmur to herself, "If you don't believe it, why blush?" Recalling her original purpose, Xinger said, "Your Highness, I accidentally poured out the original medicine, so please make a new one quickly." Meng Qingrou stood up and said softly, "Xinger, whose side are you on? Why don't you help me instead of helping He Yunxiao." Xinger thought, "Why help him? Don't you know what you feel?" Meng Qingrou couldn't do anything about her elder sister who had grown up together. Even within Linxuan Palace, Xinger's influence on other palace maids was greater than her own. She had no choice but to say, "I'll go make the medicine, you go and chase away that person at the door for me." Xinger had intended to respect her Highness's opinion, but seeing her turn pale and struggle to breathe just upon hearing "sever all ties and never have contact again", she understood. Just like the man outside, this Princess Nanzhu was not indifferent to the other, but cared too much. The man outside, after being scolded, transformed from a skilled intruder into a nervous, obedient rookie. Inside the room with her, even though she acted nonchalant, in reality, she cared deeply, so much so that she couldn't even dare to meet the other person. Late at night, before the medicine was made, she wanted to chase people away, both fierce and cowardly. Xinger sighed. It seemed that the destiny of this awkward couple depended entirely on her efforts. Unfortunately, Xinger had not seen Spider-Man, or she would have felt a deep connection. Xinger did not rush to find He Yunxiao. Instead, she took the jewelry and rouge fabric he had given and visited the sleeping quarters of the other palace maids. As she distributed the bribes, she incidentally explained the predicament of Princess Nanzhu. The palace maids were thrilled to hear the gossip while pocketing He Yunxiao's bribes. After conveying all this, Xinger left the palace and went to find He Yunxiao, who was still waiting outside the courtyard wall. He Yunxiao had been immersed in the world of martial arts training. Although the night was cool, under the constant circulation of internal energy, he felt no chill. He was full of energy and could feel the subtle changes happening in his body. His body, tempered by internal energy, naturally expelled toxins. Even though it was minimal, He Yunxiao felt that if he truly had the same level of power as Chuchu, he could live longer than others without resorting to the antidote for the Soul Devouring Pill, and could live much longer. Chuchu had said she could extend my lifespan without the antidote for the Soul Devouring Pill. Could it be... "He Yunxiao." Before He Yunxiao could ponder further, Xinger arrived in front of him. Grateful for Xinger’s help, he stopped his training, stood up, and said, "Miss Xinger, what brings you here?" Remembering Princess Nanzhu's order to chase away the person, Xinger smiled and said, "He Yunxiao, our Highness is inviting you in." *Translated by Soothsayer.io
